[QUOTE="reddist, post: 1002304, member: 5212"] [b]What about Gor?[/b] Three pages and I'm surprised nobody has mentioned John Norman and his Gor books. I remember picking the first one up as a teenager, thinking "wow, there are 40 of these, they must be good. This will keep me busy for years." At first I thought it was a nicly thought-out universe, full of rich detail. But then I realized reading those books will WARP YOUR MIND. I have NEVER since come across books that are so full of misogyny and badly written soft-porn. Also... I liked Anthony's Apprentice Adept books for a long time. I considered them some of my favorites for years, until I re-read them as an adult. Consider the hero, someone who has trained his entire life playing in the "Games." Whatever the situation, no matter how difficult or ludicrous, he has done it before while playing. Anthony used this method to create a hero who essentially had his"god-mode" turned on. He was incapable of failing. Other dislikes already mentioned: WoT, SoT, anything by Salvatore. -Reddist [/QUOTE]
